Emily Maynard Steals Ben Flajnik's Thunder.

I finally gave in and read Kristen Baldwin’s recaps of “The Bachelor” on EW.com. Sounds like this season is interesting. Ben is a different kind of bachelor, Courtney’s a bitch and there are a lot of criers this season which is saying something considering the show I’m writing about.


Despite all of that, I’m okay with missing Ben’s season. I don’t mind finding out who’s going to end up with the hot, geeky, wine-maker on a blog. I can wait till I come back to New York to watch the episodes (it probably won’t be my number one priority but I will watch).


Why am I, a self-confessed Bachelor freak, so chill?


Emily is the new bachelorette. Her season is the season to watch.  In my eyes, Emily has already made Ben's season irrelevant which may have been intentional on Team Bachelor’s part since this season’s  ratings are so low.

A Pitcher of Sangria Please

I miss drinking. I miss meeting up with friends, ordering some cocktails and enjoying a night out. I miss unwinding with my roommate, digging into some chips and guacamole and sipping some sangria  (all homemade cuz that’s how we roll). 

I miss Monday nights with a bottle of Merlot, watching "The Bachelor" and tweeting about it. I miss ending the night (or starting the day depending on how you look at it) at Horus with shots of Tequila.

I miss my social life.

Team Bachelor Finally Got Emily Maynard!

Emily Maynard is going to be the next Bachelorette! On one hand, yes! This couldn’t have been more perfect if I dreamed it up. Word on the street is Bentley is trying to compete during her season. Will ABC let him? Of course they will.

On the other hand, ick. This chick went on and on (and on) about wanting privacy – she’s a mom y’all – and not being a famewhore and really trying to make things work with Brad Womack. Why did she agree to find love on national television with a show that has a shitty success rate?

How much money do you think they offered her to agree?

*Kanye Shrug* I’ll watch regardless.

Super Excited!

Randy: There are certain RULES that one must abide by in order to successfully survive a horror movie. For instance, number one: you can never have sex.
[crowd boos]
Randy: BIG NO NO! BIG NO NO! Sex equals death, okay? Number two: you can never drink or do drugs.
[crowd cheers and raises their bottles]
Randy: The sin factor! It's a sin. It's an extension of number one. And number three: never, ever, ever under any circumstances say, "I'll be right back." Because you won't be back.
Stu: I'm gettin' another beer, you want one?
Randy: Yeah, sure.
Stu: I'll be right back.
[crowd cheers]
Randy: See, you push the laws and you end up dead. Okay, I'll see you in the kitchen with a knife. 

Yo yo yo! Yo...

Happy Halloween! I hope everyone dressed up over the weekend and had a great time. If you live in the Northeast area, chances are you didn't. I worked so even if the weather wasn't ridiculous, there would be no Halloween fun for me (The Children's Place: slowly killing my spirits since October 2011).


But despite the fact that I'm 25, working in retail and having to live through Snowtober, I'm in a fantastic mood! For one, November is a new month and a new month means a new beginning and I'm determined to get my fat ass moving and try that whole exercising thing again. If at first you don't succeed, right?


Two, this morning I entertained myself reading #ThingsLongerThanKimsMarriage tweets. Freaking hilarious. Laughter releases endorphins so you know, I'm doing my body good. In all seriousness though, breaking up sucks and it can't be easy doing it publicly so good luck to her.

Last but not least, I am beyond excited because I have an interview with Entertainment Weekly tomorrow! I haven't been this excited about an interview in a very long time people. Working at EW wold be a dream come true because I am seriously on their site every day. 

I go hard for EW people. EW is the Bieber to my tween. It's that serious.

I first discovered EW.com years ago when I was trying to get some info on the next season of my favorite show EVER Battlestar Galactica (RIP BSG). These days, I'm on it for everything from Hunger Games info to recaps (you guys know how I feel about all things Bachelor related but it's so much better with Kristen Baldwin's hilarious commentary thrown into the mix).

So I'm in a great mood. I'm gonna skip Terra Nova tonight and watch Scream in honor of today. I caught some of it a couple of nights ago and was reminded of how Matthew Lillard used to be my everything. 

What ever happened to him?

This Week in Frivolity.

• Chris Brown’s an idiot.
  
  
• Congrats to Reese Witherspoon! America’s Oscar Winning Sweetheart tied the knot today. Isn't "tied the knot" a funny saying? I guess it's supposed to mean lasting unity or something but it just reminds me of being stuck like "you're not going anywhere bwahahahahaha"! Anyway, yay for weddings!
  
  
• Here’s a little tidbit for my fellow "Bachelor"/"Bachelorette"/ "Bachelor Pad viewers". Vienna and Kasey “Guard and Protect Your Heart” Kahl are a couple. Yes you read that sentence correctly.Now some of you may be wondering: are they the real deal? But I'm asking: do we really care either way? As long as she's still batshit crazy, he continues to make viewers uncomfortable with just being and there's a camera rolling as it all goes down, I'm a happy camper.
  
  
• Do you know why I love Jay-Z? It’s because he’s on some other ish entirely. Word on the street is the hip-hop mogul is going to collaborate with Sade on a track called “Moon and Sky”. This makes Jay Z the first hip-hop artist to collaborate with Sade EVER. Well done, Mr. Carter. Well done.
  
  
• As many of you know, Dame Elizabeth Taylor passed away a few days ago. You can check out old photos of the actress and activist here. Isn’t it weird? We now live in a world where Michael Jackson and Elizabeth Taylor don’t exist. I, for one, can’t really wrap my head around it; both are such a big part of my pop culture upbringing. Will kids grow up and even care about these dead actors and musicians?
  
  
• Congrats to Rachel Zoe! The stylist extraordinaire and her husband are parents to a baby boy. Yay babies!
  
  
• So next week's Grey’s Anatomy episode is going to be a musical.
  Ugh, whyyyyy?
  I hope I have to eat my words this Friday but musical episodes are always so cheesy.
  In the words of Youtuber, SaMiLCrUGaR “ok i loveee grey's anatomy but this singin (sic) episode it's like... weir (sic) O.o their doctors not singers leave that to glee”
  With that said, these scenes look pretty intense.
